Trip Overview
Mount Kailash Mansarovar Luxury Tour offers spiritual exploration and comforts all wrapped up. This seven-day tour covers two of the most revered sites in Tibetan culture: Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar.
Referred to as the abode of Lord Shiva, Mount Kailash draws pilgrims from diverse faiths, including Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon followers.
Mount Kailash Mansarovar Luxury Tour is planned luxuriously to ensure one travels deep into the region's rich cultural and spiritual heritage. The participants shall have a comfortable stay and travel arrangements in private vehicles and be free from worrying about travelling details.
During the tour, travelers can view panoramic scenery and tranquil environments. The main activities include visits to significant monasteries, viewpoints, and spiritual rituals at Lake Mansarovar. Here, pilgrims can follow conventional ceremonies of taking a holy dip in the water or performing puja.
The Mount Kailash Mansoravar Luxury Tour allows ample acclimatization time to adjust to the high altitudes of the Tibetan Plateau. Of course, these 'kilometres a day' are carefully paced so that participants have ample time to enjoy nature's stunning beauty without impairing their health.
The 'X-factor' of luxury in this tour remains in the details: participants stay in fine hotel and guesthouse accommodations with modern facilities that retain some of the local culture, and private vehicles provide a comfortable means of travel during long drives across scenic landscapes.
Further, some guides lead the way and offer insights into the history and significance of each location that they will visit. From luxury to spirituality, this Mount Kailash Mansarovar Luxury Tour is not a tour but an experience that will stay in the minds of travellers long after they get back home.
We also have a normal Kailash Mansarovar Tour Package, which you can check if you are interested.
Mystery of Mount Kailash Mansarovar Lake
Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake have always been shrouded in mystery and sanctity. Many believe Mount Kailash is the world's axis, with deep cosmic power. Though many are lured toward this peak, nobody has been able to climb to the top of Mount Kailash, and it remains virgin, sans the touch of any human foot.
Equally appealing is the Mansarovar Kora Lake, which lies near the foot of the mountain. This lake has crystal clear waters and considerable spiritual significance for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon: one owes respect to the lake.
The belief that its water cures ailments makes it even more mystical, and a bath therein washes away the soul. Locals also tell tales of strange lights or glowing figures spotted around the lake at night, which they say are due to forces of a divine nature.
Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake constitute geographic wonders, spiritually supposed to harbour secrets far beyond human comprehension.
We also organize the Mount Kailash Aerial tour.
